Modify All - F2
This is similar to the Line Modify F1 function described previously, the only difference being that the editing mode is not exited when Return or Enter is pressed. F2 and its equivalent button acts as a toggle key, switching the mode on or off. The setting may be saved by selecting Save Session in the File menu.
The F2 Modify All key and button enables you to edit and retransmit an incorrectly entered command string when the emulation is in Character mode. This saves you having to retype the entire string again.
Note: This will not function when the emulation is in Block or
Format mode.
When the host causes an error message to be displayed indicating that the string has been incorrectly entered, press the F2 key. An asterisk will appear on the button indicating that the function is selected. Move the cursor to the line containing the error, edit the line then press Return or Enter. This will cause the edited string to be transmitted. To exit Modify All mode, press F2 or click the button again.
Note: Even though this function is a special form of Block mode it is completely separate from it and you do not need to enable Block mode before using the Modify All function.
Block Mode - F3
Data may be transmitted to the host a character at a time or as a block of characters. The F3 key and equivalent button toggles the form of data transmission between Character mode and Block mode. The setting may be saved by selecting Save Session in the File menu.
The emulation is in Character mode when the button does not display an asterisk. Each character will be sent to the host as it is entered at the keyboard.
When Block mode is activated (as indicated by an asterisk), data entered at the keyboard will not be sent to the host until the Enter key is pressed. In this mode, displayed text may be edited locally before it is transmitted to the host. Control codes such as CR (carriage return) and LF (line feed) are acted upon locally and are not transmitted to the host when Enter is pressed.
Remote Mode - F4
The current setting of this button determines whether pressing an alphanumeric key causes a character to be sent to the host (remote) or only to the display (local). The button and F4 key toggles between Remote mode and Local mode. The setting may be saved by selecting Save Session in the File menu.
The emulation is in Local mode when the button does not display an asterisk. Pressing alphanumeric keys will cause characters to be sent to the display only.
When Remote mode is activated (as indicated by an asterisk), pressing alphanumeric keys will cause characters to be sent to the host.
